Religious Cartoons

Last week the Vatican released: John Paul II: Friend of all Humanity, so that the little kiddies can learn all about how wonderful the pope is. Apparently it's educational.

Looking far more modern and funky is a new comic-book series called The 99, by a Kuwaiti-born entrepeneur. It's based around the 99 attributes/names/faces of Allah, with each aspect being represented by a different superhero. The picture in TIME this week is of a kick-ass looking chick in cool street-wear. I'm sorry to say that spunky sass beats the Pope in terms of coolness factor.
